How to Make Writing Pay.
C. NJ. Hammond, in the Writer.


 A friend of mine, man whose suc- cess i'll journalism makes his views worth quoting, says that very little is ever written for which readers can not be found. My experience, much less extensive than his, teaches me that this view is correct. It is the pub fishers duty to search out these readers and give to each what he wants. If my friend and I are right in our idea, why should not writing be q profitable occupation?
 Let us take your own case, suppos- ing you to be an average individual of this considerable army of writers. You love the profession, you would like to follow, but you cannot make q living at it. You would, you think, undergo almost any temporary hard ship could you be assured of moderate success after time.
 There is but one thing you need do you, the individual representing the average-in order to achieve that suc- cess, and that one thing is-work.
 like, whenever possible, to take the farm or garden for an illustra- tion. Suppose it were not writing, but gardening, that pleased you best as an occupation, and you were car penter. Were you to devote an hour or two hours day to your garden, do you think that you would ever make it pay, that you would ever be- come a successful gardener, that you would ever reach point when you felt that you could give up the trade of carpenter, and by working a few hours day in your garden become famous, or even we'll to-do? Certainly not. Your only hope would be in giving up your trade entirely and working hard, day after day-and all day long, too-in your garden.
 You must do the same if you would succeed as writer. You must cut loose from everything else and work, not one hour now and then, as you do now, but for four, six, or eight hours each day. If carpenter have genius he may become on architect, and after years of labor may become SO expert and so famous that he can demand very high prices for work which takes lit- tie time, but if he has not genius, even as a carpenter, he can earn living and be happy.
 You regard literature as a lottery. You wish to put in a little and draw either a blank or fortune. It is not lottery. It is productive field that with certain amount of labor will, barring accidents, produce a certain amount of gain. With like amount of ability and training required to bring success in any profession or trade you can make as sure success, and as substantial a success in litera- ture; but literature is no royal road to success, and the sooner you disa- buse your mind of this idea, the sooner will you find your ambition to be a writer of published and paid-for arti- cles gratified.

here has not been any too cordial i'll it's treatment of her.
 "She lives now quite alone, sur rounded by her dogs, and with one lady as her sole companion. Ouida is now somewhere about sixty years of age, and her solitary mode of life is beginning to tell on her. There are many peculiarities-eccentricities, I might call them-such as wearing bright colored decollette dresses, with her hair flowing loose, ikea girl of sixteen instead of a woman of sixty"
 The same afternoon on which this conversation occurred l took stroll through the Porta San Frediano and along the via di Scandicci as far as the Villa Farinola. There, nestled on the side of a hill, almost hidden from view by the thick green foliage of the sur rounding gardens, lives the woman whose books are so widely read, so widely admired and so widely-con- demned. In what dozen books can be found as much pessimism, as much cold, unjust undervaluation of human nature as is found in her "Princess Napraxine?"
 "Ouida's philosophy?" said my friend-"it is detestabie. Ouida does not believe in mankind; no, she be- lieves in-dogs."
 That she believes in dogs is certain, for her villa is full of them, and from their appearance they must receive no small amount of affection and care. From the hill near Ouida's villa a splendid view ofFlorence and the sur rounding country is to be had. In- deed, the excellence of the scenery in this neighborhood is only equaled by the excellence of the arrangements for viewing it. On every side of Florence there are lovely heights overlooking the city, and in the city itself is all enormously high tower, from the lofty summit of which one can look down on the streets and houses and men beneath as on some picture oI panorama.

A Convict's Adventure.
From an Australfan Paper.

A Port Adelaide customs officer was badly surprised last thursday, and his nerves have been unsettled ever since. He was experimenting the unloading of the steamer "South Australian from West Australia, when he mo- ticed box feet inches long by 2 feet 1 inch wide by feet deep.
 It was peculiar looking package. Fitting it up on one side he found it unconscionably heavy. He turned it over and it fell open, and from it dropped not gross, of clothes-pegs but man!-a live man, too, six feet long when standing, but literally doubled up now.
 The poor fellow gasped for breath and looked terribly emaciated. The man stretched himself and, cried screamed-for water.
 No one knew at first what to do with him, but at last the happy idea struck somebody that this man had not paid his passage money, and could, therefore, be indicted for something or other surely. Anyhow he had no friends and should go to the station. He was given over to policeman and carried to the station, where he shrieked for something to eat.
 By and by he told his story. He was West Australian convict and wanted to get away. He couldn't book passage, because the agents and police knew him, so he engaged a friend to put him into this box, with little water and few biscuits; and in addition he had with him a small saw, pannikin, screw driver, augur and bits, chisel, matches, tobacco, and bottle of oil. He arranged a number of strings to the lid of the box, so that he might keep it shut when he wished to have it 30.
 The box was heaped up with the rest of the luggage and thrown end over end into the hold, shaking the poor fellow in a terrible manner. He was packed under lot of other pack ages, and thus cramped, stifing, starving, lay half dying during seven days and nights.
 When he arrived at Port Adelaide he was almost skeleton. Excruci- ating agony had plowed deep turrows upon his face. However, he had, at any rate, the satisfaction of knowing that his arrival has created a greater sensation than the incoming even of any governor of late years.
 The customs officer is in fix. He can scarcely determine to what rate list of tariff the "man in the box" be- longs. It is thought, however, that he will be included in the "unenum- erated" articles and pay 10 per cent, ad calorem duty on himself.
 This is the second instance of a shipment of this kind, the first being a servant girl, who proved "an unde- sirable colonist."

l have been a great sufferer from catarrh for over ten years; had it very bad, could hardly breathe. Some nights could not sleep-had to walk the floor. I purchased Ely's Cream Balm and am using it freely, it is working a cure surely. I have ad- vised several friends to use it, and with happy results in every case. It is the one medicine above all others made to cure catarrh, and it is worth it's weight in gold. I thank God have found remedy can use with safety and that does all that is claimed for it. It is curing my deafness. w. Sperry, Hartford, Conn.

Julian Hawthorne's First Fight.
 Cosmopolitan.

For my own part, though the event occurred when I was no more than nine years of age, I still vividly re- member, and shall never forget, the thrill of noble joy that traversed my diminutive frame the first time fairly knocked an adversary down. It was in the back yard of boarding house in Liverpool, England. The yard was paved with broad flagstones, and was surrounded with high brick walls. The dispute between my an- tagonist and myself began on the steps of the kitchen door, and was occa- stoned, very likely, by diversity of opinion as to rightful ownership of an eleemosynary piece of pie; but upon that point l am open to correction. What is certain is, that we arose and fought in the center of the yard, and that the party of the second part re- ceived an unexpected right handler on that portion of his countenance where the nose meets the upper lip. He fell over backward, to my own surprise and extreme satisfaction; the circum- stance that he was, then and after ward, particular and cherished friend of mine not in the least dimin- ishing the latter emotion. The delight of battle is no respecter of persons, and the taste of blood is stimulating, no matter whose veins supply it. No grudge was borne on either side; {; whereas, supposing, for example. that had eaten his pie and then omitted to knock him down for it, an ill-feel- ing might have been engendered that would have rendered our innocent lit- tie lives unhappy and malignant.

The Cutest Little Things.

"Cute!" he echoed. "Well, don't know as the adjective would have oc- cured to me in just that connection. But if you mean that they do their work thoroughly, yet make no fuss about it; cause no pain or weakness and, in short, are everything that a pill ought to be, and nothing that it ought not, then I agree that Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets are about the cutest little things going"

FRIENDSHIP.
BY UNCLE SAM (ED K. PRITcHARD.)

MY DEAR NEPHEW: I remember a refrain in an old song which runs "Theie is no friend so true as dollar or two" And there is more truth than poetry in it. But still there is a friendship the value of which cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Do you know, my dear boy, that there are men in this world who have plenty of money, but who are yet so utterly that is in the possession of true friends-that they would give almost to the uttermost farthing of their wealth could they, by so doing, buy the friendship, the esteem even, of those whose friendship and good will is worth having. Money is a power in the world, George, but there are some things so precious that even money cannot buy them. Among these are virtue, honesty, love and a clear conscience.
 "Money can supply all a mans physical wants; it can indeed go far toward ca ering to his intellectual en- joyment, toward his comfort and bet terment in thousand ways; but there are some longings of the heart, the souls higher and better aspirations, that money cannot gratify. The mill- ionaire standing by the coffin contain ing the clay of darling son, is no richer, his money availeth no more against the King of Terrors than dc the rags of the pauper. All his wealth cannot exempt him or his from the common lot of humanity it may buy him finer coffin, grander tomb, but after all, his flesh is food for the worms, and the succeeding genera tions forget that such one ever lived or had being on the face of the earth
 The man who invests his money ir trying to alleviate the sufferings of his poorer and more unfortunate fellow creatures; who gives bread to the hungry, roof to the homeless, and clothing to the naked, gets far greater interest than does the close listed old miser who loans his thou sands on railroad stock, or on first mortgages on the best real estate. The eAuO Phil"HIAliOplsI, eIlc pFdCtlCtt helper, is, after all, the happiest ot men. When great man dies now the first question usually asked is "What did he do for humanity? Ii the answer is "Nothing!" then the world doesn't take the trouble to in- quire any further into his record That answer tells his story. He lived for himself; he took no interest be- yond selfish one, in the world, and humanity cannot, therefore, afford te bother with him. On the other hand had the man, though penniless, beer known as friend to his fellows, his memory liveth forever, and little chil- dren are taught to lisp his name il loving accents. True friendship is the crown of life. Bear this in mind, my dear boy, and never sink the noblest things of life to the mere paltry value by which some measure all things that is, dollars and cents.- Chtcagc Ledger.
